Anjum Niaz, Babar Sattar, Saleem Safi

US helped ISI to create extremist elements in Pak: Petraeus Anjum Niaz: Wehave a full-scale epidemic of the virus and there's nothing we can do about it! We must suffer their hubris.Babar Sattar: The proposed judicial nomination process is a step in the right direction. It distributes the discretionary powers of the chief justice more widely amongst his peers, marks a move away from the concept of pater familias to making the chief first among equals, and introduces a public accountability process that will encourage all stakeholders to support the best candidates for judicial positionsSaleem Safi: The residents of Kabul have always hated the US presence in Afghanistan. This attitude, which translates into awareness that rapprochement with Pakistan is require, has infected the leadership in Kabul as well. Some government leaders are using the same language against the US as Gulbadin Hikmatyar and Mulla Muhammad Umar.sitions.
